The girls continue to do well. This is the one thing that Taya has been first at. She is now on continuous feeding and receives a whopping 1.2ml/hour. Haylen's heart murmur is asymptomatic and therefore was allowed to trial feeding last night. She did well enough and is starting 0.5 ml/hour. This is feed in a tube that goes to their stomachs. The first day, they seem to be uncomfortable and fussy, but now they are getting used to it. Their lungs are expanding well and are able to have less help from the CPAP machine.
We were able to hold them again last night - about 2 hours. Pretty cool. We can do this about every other day depending on how they respond.
I hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving. My parents brought the meal to us, so that was nice. We could still go as needed to the hospital. We have quite a bit to be thankful for this year including all of you friends and family!
Glad to hear all things are going well. If you need anything you know where to find me =]
